Yenagoa \u2013 Four candidates who were travelling on Saturday to write the UTME\/JAMB examination died in an accident which occurred on Ahoada-Abua road in Rivers, a witness and the police said.<\/p>\n

The witness said the\u00a0 victims were travelling from Yenagoa to their centres in Abua, Rivers.<\/p>\n

The witness\u00a0 said a taxi cab coming in the opposite direction had overtaken another vehicle but lost control and collided with commercial motorcycles conveying the candidates.<\/p>\n

He said that the accident occurred between 6a.m. and 7a.m. and the remains of the deceased taken to the morgue at\u00a0 Abua General hospital.<\/p>\n

When contacted, the Bayelsa Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Eguaveon Emokpai, told NAN on telephone that he was not aware of the accident since it was not within his jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

However, the Police Public Relations Officer in Rivers, ASP Ben Ugwuebulam, confirmed the deaths and said two persons had been admitted in Teme Clinic, Port Harcourt, for treatment.<\/p>\n

Ugwuegbulem said the injured persons were in critical conditions.<\/p>\n

It was learnt that some of the candidates going to Abua for the examination rode on commercial motorcycles from the Ahoada junction on the East\/West road because of the scarcity of taxi cabs. (NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
